***Official English Football Season 2021/22***

[Uppercut]

He's unlucky because he's not even making a tackle, he's just kicking the ball. He's not in control, but 99 times out of 100 you don't land anywhere near another player and nobody thinks twice about it.

No question it's a red though, it's probably the most dangerous tackle I've seen this season. Slow motion can make some fairly innocuous challenges look dangerous because it obscures how little force is involved, but James is absolutely flying when he connects.

 

[sledger]

Yeah it was a clear red. Massively dangerous and completely out of control.

 

[Uppercut]

Lol at Holding committing four yellow card offences on Son in 30 minutes.

 

[sledger]

Ugh dire this

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Great result for Spurs that. However, I wouldn't worry too much Arsenal fans - Tottenham are experts at following up such games with abject failure. A home fixture versus Burnley is perfect material for Spurs to choke on.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Judging by his BBC interview Arteta is seriously round the twist.

Arsenal Twitter were completely off their rockers too. The only big decision the ref got wrong was not sending Holding off sooner.

 

[sledger]

was an absolutely terrible and idiotic performance from Holding, no idea what he was thinking

Same as the 2 Leeds players who got sent off in last 2 games. None of them were thinking.

I've maybe missed something on the replays as I didn't think there was much in the penalty decision.

It’s a strange one because at amateur level the refs are much more lenient, but that particular foul gets given every single time. At the top level they usually get away with it, but they shouldn’t. Shoving someone in the back when they’re challenging for a header is definitely a foul, especially when you’re not going for the ball. From the ref’s angle it looks nailed on.

I don’t rate Neville much these days but he knows plenty about using dirty tricks to defend the back post and he called it really well. You need to make sure you shove them in the side or shoulder.

 

[Tangles]

Not sure if there’s anything in the De Jong to United rumors but reading that he’s not really a CDM when that’s the main need does seem like something they would do for a bit of flash.

Seems he sometimes plays that position but playing that spot in England a different ask. Even bigger if he’s surrounded by some of the current dross.

 

[Uppercut]

I think he’s incredible and would take him without thinking twice about it. Apparently he’s had a bad season though.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Not a great final so far. But a bit of a throwback to the old days for people of a certain vintage with it being on both ITV and BBC.

It's not bad, lot of attacking play, just needs a goal.

Rumor for clicks IMO. Bad season or not De Jong is supposedly the chosen one at Barca. They are not selling the chosen one. More likely is Manure trigger Kalvin Phillips' release clause in the event Leeds go down.

 

[Furball]

Is it just me or have there been no good Cup finals at Wembley?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Genuinely terrible pen from Mane.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Mount's was more than slightly Tom Tit too.

 

[grecian]

Is it racist never to feel confident about an englishman in a pen shoot-out?
